Film Measurements
My Goal:
All film transfers are done with custom-built equipment designed for specific film formats. All film is monitored for original exposure and quality.
I have spent decades in film preservation. Many titles in my own collection have been donated to the American Film Institute, the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Oregon Historical Society.
My services are dedicated to helping families preserve their irreplaceable memories.
